I like to this book and then I didn't
In the beginning I truly enjoyed this book I put myself in the shoes of a struggling 21 yo college student making questionable decisions. I can totally understand some of the bad decisions she made she was young and dumb some of the client stories made me laugh (Silence of the Lambs guy) I guess in some ways I can even understand why she accepted James's indecent proposal 10 million dollars is so much money. But by 80% of this book I started to dislike both characters immensely. With Aubrey it was the fact that she started dating a guy who made it very clear he does not want to be with someone who isn't exclusive he has been hurt before and it destroyed him and yet she still strung him along for her own selfish reasons. Then there is James (best friend's dad) I truly don't think I like him at all he was manipulative from the beginning In one breath he's saying how much he loves his daughter but then pursues her best friend. He continuously talks about all the things that his wife doesn't do for him and knowing his wife still loves him strings her along. I can forgive the 21 yr old making bad decisions but dude your in your 50s . After their trip to Colorado I just really started to skim I find it really difficult to get into a book or keep interested in a book where I truly started to dislike both characters. I can forgive characters for a lot of things But morally they were just both horrible people. (and I'm not talking about her being an escort) And after Finding out her friend blew up her parents marriage I don't think any friend would just accept that and continue to be friends. And I think the HEA in this book is relative
